A ROUGH TIME ON THE MIGHTY DEEP.

Captain Lemuel Staplins, of Stonington, attends light on the breakwater for the guidance of the boats of the steamboat com pany. On Saturday it was so rough that he had much difficulty in getting out to the lit tie building on the breakwater where he had to sound horn on the approach of the boat. The Telegraph says: "As night wore on the dashing of the waves against this frail struc- ture convinced him that it would be impos- sible for him to open the door and send forth his warning therefrom, as is his custom, as tho force of the waves sweeping over the breakwater would wash him overheard But his inventive faculty soon conceived an idea of making hole through the top of the building and blowing blasts therefrom. He at once put his ideas into practice, and when the boat neared the harbor, above the din of the raging ocean could be heard the warning blasts which resounded from the watch tow er." Captain Staplins has been all over the world and seen good deal of weather, but he says he never knew the wind blew harder
 than it did last night. The waves were breaking over the breakwater which is twelve | feet high.

May do for a stupid boys excuse but what can be said for the parent who sees his child languishing daily and fails to recognize the want of tonic and blood-purifier? Formerly, course of bitters, or sulphur and molasses, was the rule in well-regulated families but now all intelligent households keep Ayers Sarsaparilla, which is at once pleasant to the taste, and the most searching and effective blood medicine ever discovered
 Nathan S. Cleveland, 27 E. Canton st., Boston, writes: My daughter, now 21 wears old, was in perfect health until wear ago when she began to complain ot fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness, indigestion, and loss of appetite. con, cluded that all her complaints originated in innure blood, and induced her to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medicine soon restored her blood-making organs to healthy action, and in due time reestab- Iished her former health. I find Ayers Sarsanarilla a most valuable remedy for the lassituie and debility incident to spring time."
 J. Castright, Brooklyn Power Co, Brooklyn, N. Y., says: 'As a spring Medicine, I find splendid substitute for the old-time compounds in Ayers Sarsaparilla, with few doses of Ayers Pills, After their use, feel fresher and stronger to go through the summer

The committee on interpretations reported favorably on bill ratifying certain bylaws passed by the Russell Trust association of New Haven" in 1885. This is the corporate name of Skull and Bones. It was 50 chris tened when it was incorporated back in 1856, and it seems that for 8 long time it was prst- ty loosely managed, and some time prior to the year 1885 it was discovered by the socie- ty that it had lost track of its bylaws, and then they held a meeting and adopted new set. It was to legaliZe these the bill was in troduced.

NAUGATUCK,s NEW TERMINUS
Said 10 be New York, Not Bridgeport
 The Eraaza.0ut on line RoaIa.

Said 10 be New York, Not BrIdgeport- The Freeze-Out on She Boats. The Bridgeport News Saturday said: Be- fore the Naugatuck road passed into the hands of the Consolidated road by lease it's terminal station was in this city. Now, as a part and parcel of this big corporation, the end of the line is in conjunction with the main road in New York city; that is, the Naugatuck road is operated by the Consoli- dated line from Winsted to the metropolis. The great majority of freights come down the Naueatuck road to this city and, being transferred to boat, are shipped to New York. Said gentleman yesterday who is presumed to be more or less posted on the matter: "I understand that before long the Consolidated road will effect arrangements by which g large amount of Naugatuck valley freight will be hauled directly from that vicinity by rail through this city and over the main line to New York, thus avoiding breaking bulk or transfer. It is said that the Consolidated road wants to get what it can of the valley freight in hauling 1t from this city to New York. Of course shippers up the valley can designate as to whether their freights shall go entirely through by rail or be transferred in this city to boat"

Arrangements Already I'm Progress
 Second Meeting of she Committee
 Saturday Evening.
 Nearly all the members of the executive committee for arranging the Admiral Foote post fair were present at the meeting Satur- day evening. December 14th was selected as the date of opening the fair. It will con- tinue one week. Whether the National ar mory or the State House will be used is not decided. The former can only be had by the unanimous consent of the company commanders. All of these officers who have been consulted, while opposed to leasing the armory as rule, are willing to give up the drill nights, if necessary, to accommodate the veterans. They understand the true ob- ject of the fair, viz, to replenish the relief fund of the post, from which money is con- stantly being drawn to relieve the wants of old soldiers and their families. However, if the committee find that the State House can be made available the military will not be asked to make any sacrifice of regular drill nights. The matter of securing thorough and experienced business manager to take entire charge of the enterprise was again dis cussed Saturday evening. Captain David $. Thomas, the first choice of the committee, again declined the position, stating that his private business would make it impossible for him to accept. He assured the committee that his heart was in the enterprise and he should aid in every manner possible. As proposed, this fair would be the most extensive and elaborate of any similar project in New Eng land, and, in his opinion, the business man ager should be one who could devote all his time from now to the finish to make 1t suc- cess. The fair was to be not only for the Grand Army, but for the public at large, and the vast amount of detail would require close and constant attention. Upon motion of Captain Thomas subcommittee of three was ap- pointed to select the names of forty citizens outside of the Grand Army to add to the ex- ecutive committee. The following were ap- pointed with instructions to present the names at the next committee meeting: Hon. Lynde Harrison, Captain David S. Thomas, Col. Simeon J. Fox. In adding these citizens to the executive committee it is proposed to have represented the various professions and the mercantile and manufacturing interests of our city There are evidences that our so- ciety ladies will embark in the enterprise as in Hartford last winter when their efforts added SO greatly to the financial success. The third meeting of the committee is to be held on Friday evening of this week.

The Market Fairly Strong but Prices Weak-Traders Unload and Values Take a Drop as a Consequence.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.
 The stock market to-day enjoyed moderate de- gree activity but the dealings without much significance. The opening strong at slight improvement in prices and up to the publication of the bank statement values maintaiaed firm tone without making material advances, except in spe- cial instances. It was generally expected that the banks would show good gain in cash, and this be- lief furnished the principal support to figures. Naturally, however, there were many traders dis posed to close up their accounts over Sunday, and they took advantage of the satisfactory exhibit of the banks to do some realizing The result that most of the gains of the day were lost, but rule the net declines which predominated over advances were triling. The two leading stocks were Read ing and St. Paul, and while the former ended trifie higher the latter after triing rise, lost over one per cent from the best figures. The weak ness in St. Paul. which has been about the only laggard in the weeks advances, may be attributed to the declines shown in it's earnings compared with last year. and to the bearish reports with which Chicago still favors respecting the rate situation in the Northwest, but the other gran gers show little sympathy with this stock, it's lack of strength may be due to local speculative causes Richmond Terminal ranked the third active stock and lost none of yesterday sharp gain. Western Union moderately dealt in, but it suffered fractional loss from last night

THE SPORTING SEASON.
Now Look out for Cartridges.

AOUA OGS AOE GAEbGAUSeBa
 NORWICH, Sept. 30.-The Connecticut game law is off tomorrow. Birds are plenti- ful, especially quail and cartridges, and the woods will be full of hunters. Cartridges are so plentiful about this town that they drift into the city when they have nothing to do. A full grown partridge flew into the window in Mrs. Worden's house on Broad way in the center of the city last Sunday and dropped on the sofa, where Mrs. Worden found it when she came in to get her prayer book. She called in her neighbor MT. Har- rington, who caught it alive. At East Great Plains, half mile from the town, on the same day, resident strolling out after din- ner found a partridge squatting under a chair in his veranda She flew against the ceiling, dropped a couple of feathers and then was off. The man said that a smooth cylindrical hole was plainly visible behind her in the ether as she boomed away to the woods.
 RAIL SCARCE IN THE CONNECTICUT VALLEY
 NORWICH, Sept. 30.-The rail is not plen- tiful this season and the New York sports men who have visited the Connecticut val- ley are disapI ointed. Only few report fair days sport. The largest string was taken last week by Norwich party, who bagged eighty birds. The wild oats ripened too late to attract the rail into the valley.
